Buzzard Crest is here today with grapes and grape juices. Oak Grove has heirloom tomatoes, large and small sweet and hot peppers, squashes, and pumpkins.

Deer ate Mountain Sweet Berry's greens, so they only have a wide variety of small potatoes, the last of their wild arugula, and CROSNES. S&SO has a great selection of onions and other produce and Paffenroth has colorful carrots, many kinds of greens and potatoes, and several kinds of herbs and radishes.

Wednesday, October 28, 2009

I was happy to find most farmers in the market despite the weather. Eckerton is here with CARDOONS, Locust Grove has a few RASPBERRIES, Oak Grove and Sycamore have HEIRLOOM TOMATOES, and Paffenroth, S&SO, and Miglorelli are here with a surprisingly wide selection of good looking produce. Locust Grove, Breezy Hill, Terhune, and others have apples and pears and Locust has grapes.

New today in the Greenmarket, Westport Aquaculture, with oysters and clams!! It's a family run business and they bring in their stock directly from their boats.

Saturday, October 24, 2009

Things are pretty much the same as last Saturday, except: Eckerton has CARDOONS, BUZZARD CREST is here, and there are still heirloom tomatoes to be had, particularly at Oak Grove.

Order your Thanksgiving capon, turkey, or other poultry today from Quattro's! They also bring in pheasant sausage meat for stuffing and other goodies. They will be here on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving!

Wednesday, October 21, 2009

I bought some delicious blueberry honey from Andrews Honey today. Locust Grove has a wide variety of delicious apples and pears, including Ida Reds, Baldwins, and Macouns. Evolutionary has many kinds of turnips and other root vegetables, lettuces, greens(kales, etc.), and good looking cut salad and other greens. Honey Hollow has dried chanterelles and other mushrooms, and fresh mitakes.

S&SO's greens, cut herbs, and other produce remain diverse and their pumpkins and other squashes and gourds look good. Cayuga is here with many kinds of dried beans and organic flours. Eckerton has CARDOONS as well as small heirloom tomatoes, seasoning peppers, various sweet potatoes, cherry tomatoes, brussels sprouts, rainbow kale, and celeriac. Berried Treasures has many kinds of small European style potatoes and SUNCHOKES as well as various dried beans(jacobs cattle, adzuki, blackeyed peas).

Saturday, October 17, 2009

Things I missed earlier this morning -- Milk Thistle is still here, Violet Hill is here with mitake mushrooms (beautiful -- and he will have them next Saturday) and Fantasy Fruit is here with what they say (!) is their last day for blueberries and for the season.I still didn't see Buzzard Crest.

Cheerful Cherry is back!!! They have Italian plums, grapes, tomatoes, apples, and jams. Locust Grove is here with honey crisp and macoun apples as well as pears and some tomatoes and raspberries. S&SO, Paffenroth, and Norwich are here with a wide variety of produce and Gorzynski and Keith have greens and root vegetables. Stokes has heirloom tomatoes, cut herbs, lettuces, and other vegetables. (I've been drying their herbs for the winter and find their tarragon, thymes, and other herbs particularly good for that purpose.)

The frost affected Mountain Sweet Berry's beans -- they only had flageolets early today -- but they have an interesting kind of broccoli and CROSNES as well as sucrine lettuce, wild arugula, and delicious European style small potatoes. D'Attolico has flavorful carrots, sprouts, and other vegetables and Oak Grove has heirloom tomatoes, squashes, pumpkins, and hot peppers as well as corn and many kinds of cherry tomato.

I didn't see Buzzard Crest, but they could have been held up somehow. It's worth checking to see if they've arrived late -- their grapes and grape juices are delicious.

Saturday, October 10, 2009

The recessional continues, with Cheerful Cherry gone until next May. Fantasy Fruit is still here, with blueberries. Buzzard Crest has delicious grape juices and several varieties of seeded and seedless grapes. Locust Grove has apples, pears, tomatoes, tomatillos, and grapes. Eckerton has gorgeous Scotch bonnet and other seasoning peppers, heirloom cherry tomatoes, pepper bunches, pumpkins, squashes, and beautiful rainbow chard.

S&SO has cut herbs, boxes of various onions, huge radishes and carrots, lettuces, and other produce. Cherry Lane and Paffenroth have their usual abundance of wonderful vegetables and Gorzynski has lovely lettuces and other greens.

Northshire has astonishing cabbages, sucrine lettuce, Tuscan Black Kale and other Italian greens, bok choi, wild watercress, and several kinds of Chinese cabbage.

Sycamore has corn (I had some Wednesday -- delicious), tomatoes, sweet peppers, and other tasty produce. Mountain Sweet Berry has the same beans they had on Wednesday (maybe one more week on those), wild arugula, sucrine lettuce, and strawberries(maybe one more week on those). Oak Grove has delicious ready to eat heirloom tomatoes, melons, corn, hot peppers, and ground husk cherry tomatoes. Norwich has heirloom tomatoes, greens, squashes, and eggplants and say that soon they'll be down to root vegetables and winter squashes.

How I'm dealing with the heat, thanks to the Greenmarket.

Just finished two ears of Sycamore's sweet corn with Ronnybrook's sweet butter. I'm about to have Berried Treasures and Norwich Meadows raspberries and Samascott blueberries with Hammond's peach yogurt. Dinner will be a sort of Nicoise salad with Eckerton and Norwich's heirloom tomatoes, Muddy River's potato and lettuce, Stokes Farm's purple string beans, and Italian canned tuna with hardboiled Quattro's egg.Staying cool is the goal!
